Your House, Your Rules: Player Housing in Soulbound Every Pioneer needs a place to come home to. We may have that retro-pixel feel we all remember, know, and love, but Soulbound is, in many ways, a modern homage. It used to be that in many MMOs, characters existed in a strange kind of homelessness. Great heroes without a place to call their own! You’d wander from zone to zone, dump loot in a ba…
